As a matter of fact, I heard two customers having a heated discussion at a local place where I had lunch over small jobs they have contractors do and they were charged a minimum of $150. 

He at least does have a NY accent which is good.I figure somebody here has had to have done business with him that can at least verify the returns he is providing.

$1,000 a month is on the lighter side and upwards of $2,000 isn't unheard of.On the upside the fees often include utilities, internet, water, heat etc.

The property has great amenities including central heat and air, pet friendly, washer/dryer, great backyard + patio, an upgraded kitchen and bathroom, and upscale furnishings. 

Not because it has broken but to improve stuff.Either way an older home requires more maintenance than a newer build until those systems that wear out are replaced (like the heating/AC)We are 7+ hours from our lake house and we self manage it just fine and have been for the last 6 years.Regarding the LLC, will you be paying all cash for the property?

I see people owning much larger housing space and paying more for heating, cooling, insurance!!

We have a heated in-ground pool, and that covers pretty much everyone in the cooler months (not many cooler months in central Florida).

Some exterminators will recommend heat treat.  

Just check local guidelines as to what makes it a legal bedroom (typically a heat source, window you can escape out of, and a closet).  

To name a few HVAC for unit 1 is 20 years old and could not fully inspect the heat, the pipe to the sewer has completely dropped and is not connected, in basement the window header, subflooring and joists are damaged from termite activity, and their needs to be some tuckpointing and masonry work done for the exterior brick.
